The City's current amusement devise licensing ordinance allows the owner of the amusement <br /> devices to hold the license, even though the amusement devices are not in use. The holding <br /> of licenses presents a problem to those who would like to operate amusement devices, since <br /> the City has a limit of 106 licenses. The first reading of Ordinance 1992-001 was on <br /> February 11, 1992. This ordinance will allow only the operator of the amusement device <br /> establishment to apply for and hold the license. <br /> City staff discussed the conditional use permit request at a recent staff meeting. The Police <br /> Chief did not foresee major problems with the arcade at Sheik's. The Police Chief would <br /> have to realign some patrol schedules. A disadvantage of the arcade is it is inside the mall <br /> and not in a free standing building. A previoius request in 1987 to allow for an arcade in <br /> Apache Plaza by conditional use permit was tabled by the City Council. The applicant, <br /> Amercian Amusement Arcades, did not persue the request after it was tabled. The City <br /> Council tabled the request to do further study of the impact of arcades in mall areas. Of <br /> particular concern was this arcade was proposed to be next to the municipal liquor site. <br />
